Confronting false doctrine, IK lays down the SMACK!
The_Truth said:I'm frustrated that Christians can be so unkind to certain groups when their dogma teaches kindness and love towards ALL people.
Inzl Kett said:No it doesn't! It is very severe , especially when talking about homosexuality. Take a look.
Romans 1: 21-28
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
And what are we to do with false teachers?
2 John 1:10-11 - If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Jesus' own words about people who teach lies like yourself.
John 8:44 - Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Take a careful look at this one. King David hates evil doers!
Psalm 26 4-5 -I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
Here's another one.
Psalm 31:6 - I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.
What Christians are supposed to do with posters like you.
Ephesians 5:11 - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
My point? The Bible isn't all fluffy bunnies, rainbows and love. Christians are not called to love everything an everybody. We are called to forgive people when they repent.
Luke 17 3-4 - Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
You have not done that. Right now I am not required to treat you with deference. You are on here with a clear agenda--to disparage Christians who oppose ungodly lifestyles and agendas. You twist scripture to your own destruction.
